Exam 220-1202 Topic 1 Question 224 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1202 exam
Question #: 224
Topic #: 1
A user is attempting to open on a mobile phone a HD video that is hosted on a popular media streaming website. The user is receiving connection timeout errors. The mobile reception icon area is showing two bars next to 3G. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

3G networks generally do not provide the bandwidth required for seamless HD video streaming. With only two signal bars and a 3G connection, the mobile device likely cannot maintain the necessary data throughput, resulting in timeouts or buffering failures. This is a classic symptom of insufficient network speed or signal strength.
A). Lack of Wi-Fi may contribute, but the root cause is the low mobile bandwidth, not the Wi-Fi state.
B). A website subscription lapse would return an account error, not a timeout.
D). Full device storage can affect downloads but not streaming from the internet.
